The Booga Wooga & Little Sister Sophia

Welcome to our new home! It was time for a change, so this blog was created to pick-up where "The Booga Wooga: Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, & Tigger Too!" left off. If you ever want to take a stroll down memory lane and visit the first blog, just click on "The Booga Wooga's Blog" tab below to get you there. Same as before, this blog will continue the standard of being a diary-journal that is child-oriented, family-friendly, and safe for kids to visit!

Booga Update P.S.

LOVE ALWAYS, "THE BOOGA..."

Booga Update 01/24/07

Dear Family & Friends,

It's my birthday and I turned one year old today! I am 22 lbs + 14 ozs and 30 inches long. Me and my 7 teeth are now eating all kinds of table food. It looks like another tooth (bottom) will be putting in an appearance real soon. I still drink from bottles once in a while but, I really like my sippie cups! I'm not walking on my own just yet but, I have a feeling it will happen any day now. I've taken several steps without holding on to anything or anyone...but only when I'm not thinking about it. A few days ago, I walked all the way down the hallway by myself! My Mommy, Grammy, and Pop-Pop said they were very proud of me. I got lots of smiles, hugs, kisses, cheering, and hand clapping when I got to the end of the hallway. They all seemed so happy, I decided to join in and give myself a hand clap too. I've been standing alone and taking a few steps at day care too so, I know it won't be long before I can walk and run with all my friends. Ms. Bea and Ms. Nyeisha gave me a really nice birthday party today. It was also Ms. Nyeisha's birthday. There were lots of something called "balloons" floating around and we all had cake and ice cream. Everybody sang a song called "Happy Birthday" to me and Ms. Nyeisha...it made us feel special and we really liked it.

There's not much to report this month. We took down the Christmas tree, put all the decorations away, and celebrated the beginning of a new year. I got a chance to play in the Christmas tree box one last time before it was put away. Now that it's getting colder outside, we have been staying at home more. The air outside feels really different and it seems like I have to wear a lot more clothes when I go out. There were a couple of days when I was covered from head to toe and you could only see my eyes. A few days ago, I saw something called "snow" for the first time. I did go to the movies again...me and my Mommy went to see "Stomp The Yard." I only saw a little bit of it because I went to sleep. I guess that was a good thing because my Mommy said I was a good boy and she might take me again some time.

Well, I guess that's all for now. My Mommy, Grammy, and Pop-Pop are all doing fine and, as always, said to tell you "hello". Look for my next update on 02/24/07. See you then!

Love, "The Booga..."

The Tell-Tale Heart

Cool Slideshows!

On The Outside Looking In...

Can you believe it? My first birthday is coming up soon. It seems like only yesterday, I was on the inside waiting to get out. Now, I'm on the outside looking in at myself. Here are eight never-before-posted ultrasound pics of me during the 2nd trimester (21 weeks) when I was just a "twinkle" in my Mommy's eyes!

PRAYER FOR CHILDREN

Lord Jesus, You were never too busy to pay attention to children, for You dearly loved them. We are happy that you love us and that You have time to listen to our prayers and to answer them. We thank You that You have made us Your own. As we get bigger and stronger every day, help us to grow stronger in our faith too. Bless our parents, whom You have given to us, and help us to respect and obey them, to love and treasure them. Forgive us when we disobey them or when we fail to respect them as Your previous gifts to us. Give them the wisdom to train us in the good and right way. Bless our home and every member of our family with a strong faith in You and true love to one another. Teach us to be kind, unselfish, helpful, cheerful, forgiving, and faithful in our duties. Help us to be like You, Lord Jesus, to grow in wisdom and character and in favor with God and all people. Send Your angels to watch over us, to keep us from all harm of body and soul. Bless us, and make us a blessing to our family and friends. Amen.
